The Joy of Assurance; December 27, 2025

Confirmation Joy; September 6, 2025

Time and Eternity; April 18, 2025
John 19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Just this year I learned, for the first time, that after the Passover lamb was sacrificed in the … Continue reading
